As a teenager, I abhorred the idea of adulthood. I would
approach each birthday with a sense of dread, like I was being marched towards
a guillotine. I remember being particularly miserable on both my 18th
& 24th birthday. The first one because it meant officially I was
now a adult, and the second, because I it meant I was skipped on the other side

A lot of us are shocked at the sudden spate of suicides by housewives. We wonder why they didn’t share their sorrows with their friends. Why did they bottle up all that anger & grief, till it became too much for them to handle?
But is it really that easy to share secrets with people these days?
